DESCRIPTION

SNMP::Info::EDP is a subclass of SNMP::Info that provides an object oriented interface to EDP information through SNMP.

EDP is a Layer 2 protocol that allows a network device to advertise its identity and capabilities on the local network providing topology information.

Create or use a device subclass that inherits this class. Do not use directly.

Inherited Classes

None.

Required MIBs

EXTREME-EDP-MIB

GLOBAL METHODS

These are methods that return scalar values from SNMP

$edp->hasEDP()

Is EDP is active in this device?

TABLE METHODS

These are methods that return tables of information in the form of a reference to a hash.

$edp->edp_id()

Returns the string value used to identify the chassis component associated with the remote system.

("extremeEdpNeighborName")

$edp->edp_if()

Returns the mapping to the SNMP Interface Table.

$edp->edp_ip()

Returns remote IPv4 address.

$edp->edp_port()

Returns remote port ID

$edp->edp_ver()

Returns the operating system version of the remote system.

Nulls are removed before the value is returned.
